    The perks at the terminals are nothing special.

    The only terminals that don't have scary showers are Springfield, OH & Ellenwood, GA.

    Doing laundry is the best thing about terminals but your better off doing everything at a truck stop.

    It's not a deal breaker. I like the equipment and what the company has to offer

    Don't know how I should feel. The recruiter told me to meet him this morning at the Markham terminal and he'll show me around and show me the equipment you all drive. Wasn't there and didn't answer his phone. I feel like I just got blown off for a date. Is this a sign of what's to come with this company? I hope it was just a miscommunication, but I did confirm it would be Sunday with him. Any help?

    I can't believe he did this. He is a piece of ##### !!!!! He is not a representation of USX.

    You can go there and walk around. The guards there could care less. Ask the shop to let you see the inside of a truck.

    Not a whole lot to tell really. They rented a van for us (me, regional, dedicated, o/o and team) to go to a place in Chattanooga. The food was pretty decent. No alcohol...lol. The heads of all the departments were there. The top execs had an out of town meeting so they were a no-show. Everybody was actually very nice and down to earth, which is not what I expected. I spent a lot of time talking with the VP of Safety and the head of driver retention. Also spent a lot of time listening. Three of us were trainers. Four of us happen to live in Western NY. We all received a plaque, 500 bucks and a leather jacket.Keep an eye out for pics and a story in an upcoming issue of Xpress Magazine...lol
